    Default 3D Display of Opening Endcaps

    Is there a setting that gets the opening endcaps to display in 3D? The end of wall displays correctly, but the openings all show with a Standard endcap (the edges of all components exposed). The opening endcap styles allow the head, jamb, and sill to have different endcaps assigned, so I assume they must display differently, but they still all look the same. The plan display is fine. Thanks.

    Ive never noticed how the head, jamb and sill are affected in our drawings here becasue we just use the standard endcaps, we do however use custom endcaps for the ends of our walls and they all display properly in 3D. Perhaps is it a setting in your display reps or properities of the wall style youre using.

    Assuming that you are using the out-of-the-box display system, for the most part, you will want to edit the Model Display Representation for Walls and, on the Other tab, check the Display Opening Endcaps toggle. [It is the only one in ADT 2004.]

    Thanks for the help. In following up on your suggestions, I found that in 2005, there is an override in the Options/AEC Object Settings tab for opening endcap display.
